Remembering Nakba

In commemoration of Israel’s 70th anniversary on May 15, Nadav Tamir, policy adviser to former President of Israel Shimon Peres and former member of the Israeli Defense Forces, addressed students on Wednesday night. SAFE (Students Allied for Freedom and Equality) and its allies participated in a silent demonstration and die-in to protest the celebration of what Palestinian communities refer to as “Nakba,” or the mass displacement and decimation of Palestinian people and villages.
